Bought a #7 earlier this summer and this was the iron from it. I've since replaced it with a awesome PM-V11. Was wondering can I cut this one up (resize it) and use it in a shop made shoulder plane? Its 15/16" between the slot and edge. I guess that's how wide, maybe a bit less, I'd make the shoulder plane. Is it tempered beyond the business end?
